Your CD player sends a "line level" voltage to the preamp while the Ortofon is a moving magnet phono cartridge that sends only millivolts to the preamp. The phono input of your preamp has an additional gain stage to bring the low level phono input up to line levels.
In your case, it looks like the phono preamp section either has more gain than necessary (or your CD player has a lower output level than average).
Some phono preamps have internal switches for different gain levels, but many don't. Same thing with CD players - some have a variable output to better match volume with other sources, but most don't.
If none of your components have input or output level adjustments, then your two main options are either to modify the preamp or live with the issue.
